What brings you joy seems to be a simple enough question, but when was the last time you considered your level of joy? Some may find that they are out of balance and wondering how to fix it. Although we all strive to be more positive, few of us know how to bring more pleasure into our lives while pushing away negative thoughts and worries about how things should go. Life happens, and we sometimes fall into the trap that a happy life means every day must be perfect. For most people and me, that joy you feel deep inside lies within the tiny...

Courage is more than facing fear and doubt; it’s also about standing up for my beliefs and values, speaking the truth, and being open to opportunities for growth in all my experiences. By choosing to build courage, I declare my intention to live a life of my design that is true to who I am on the deepest level. I don’t know who wrote this manifesto, but I found it about three years ago when I chose a word for that year. This resonated with me, and I still ponder “courage” daily. I think about courage and what it means to different people....
Have you ever experienced - “What was I thinking?”… “Why did I do that?” … “ I can’t believe I said that!” … or “Why didn’t I stand up and say something?” These are all common expressions of regret, and we all have them at some point. You crumble under pressure or make poor decisions. Perhaps you have let your family down or have a disconnected relationship. Whatever that voice is telling you, it is simply not true. It’s time to declutter your mind and heart and not let those nagging voices haunt you. Stop blaming God for the “why’s,” God is...

Why is it sometimes so hard to say, “I’m sorry, please forgive me, or I forgive you.” Perhaps it has something to do with false pride, self-worth, insecurities, or deep pain. Self-worth is often based on possessions and titles, and false pride is based on comparing ourselves to others. Insecure people are fragile and do their best to protect themselves from hurt. Deep pain holds you in a place of despair. This topic is challenging to write about because I have often struggled with forgiveness. I ask myself how to forgive those who have offen... Full story

How many of you feel stuck... in life or vocation? I have often felt stuck and had plenty of reasons to believe I wasn’t enough or capable. First, I was in a remedial reading group in second grade. Second, I stood before my peers with a dunce hat on at a young age. And third, I remember my dad telling me to get an excellent job with great benefits, work for 30-plus years, and then retire, thus creating a feeling of being stuck. Those experiences and words planted a seed in me at a young age, making me feel like I wasn’t enough or capable. You... Full story

I am in a season of life where I frequently ask myself, “What are God’s plans and purpose for my life? I am reminded of the familiar verse…. “For I know the plans I have for you.” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV I have even more questions when I think about and dissect this verse. I often wonder if I am correctly hearing God’s plans for my life. Life… is like Swiss cheese, a metaphor that resembles the battles we often face. The holes are the struggles, ch... Full story
